biker gang

Leather-clad riders

A biker gang is a group of motorcycle enthusiasts who ride together and share a common identity, often wearing matching insignia.

The term ranges from informal clubs to outlaw motorcycle organizations involved in criminal activity: The biker gang rumbled through town.

Law enforcement typically reserves the term for groups like the Hells Angels or Bandidos, while members of legitimate riding clubs reject the label.
